Help me with this guy Topic

First time asking for advice on the forums. I have a D3 player who's unlike anyone else I've ever coached, and I'm trying to figure out where he'll end up. His peak ratings are as follows:

ATH 74
SPD 40
REB 73
DEF 99
BLK 32
LP 26
PER 39
BH 49
PAS 34
FT A-

I know he'll be useful because of his defense. I recruited him as a SF, but his SPD, PER and PAS went black quickly, and his REB has just continued to soar. His SPD and PAS are low for a SF. His BLK and LP are low for a PF.

Two questions:
1. Where would you play him?
2. Do you think he'll ever be a decent scorer?

Play him at PF (though he would also be fine at SF). I would also tinker with a relatively high distro - that A- FT% will help a lot, because he'll be drawing a lot of fouls with the 74 ATH in DIII. Quite a player.

I agree with bbunch. I had a DIII sg who had a lot of ath and def, but his per was not that good and his LP was decent, maybe 40's or 50's. He ended up being one of my best scorers and I played him at sg. He shot high percentage and was able to draw a lot of fouls.

mrg, this guy will be a GREAT PF in man D for DIII. No pentlty at all. Give him a moderate enough distro to where he shoots a lot of free throws. His lower FG% will more than made up for by the FT's he takes.

He will be a bonafide D3 stud. He will be able to play anywhere from the 3 to 5 slot. I would put him on your opponents best front court scorer and feed him enough distro to get that guy in foul trouble too. Don't get worked up on his position, he can play 3.
